7 Strategic issue R&D: overview Issue led rather than place led Issue is at the intersection of multiple areas Establishes intellectual leadership that can move the field in areas that are still not well understood, at an earlier, riskier stage Learnings/approaches can be imported from and exported to other places There is a gap that needs to be addressed — Significant R&D work needs to be done beyond a single place (city lab of TII) — Not already an existing integrative vehicle — Nobody else is doing it (at scale) LC is well positioned – comparative advantage well suited to solve the problem Members support it Initiative can create high impact — LC can learn and leverage at scale — It is the right time to do it given current dynamics, e.g. at federal level DRAFT Selection criteria Description Outcomes New successful approaches are identified, implemented, and institutionalized Build new approaches that close critical gaps in the field

14 What Will the Working Groups Do? The Working Groups will: 1. Work through a systematic process to frame the issue and develop a Living Cities point of view through aggressive member and expert engagement and discovery; 2. Invite the broader field to participate in a disruptive frame (green boot camp); 3. Create the opportunity for members to align their strategies and/or structure co-investment; 4. Stimulate disruption in the broader field through competitive RFPs and/or make “just-in-time” investments of grants and/or PRIs that formalize emerging partnerships and drive early programmatic experimentation.
